How many alts do you have?

[Iscah]

No reason for alts. If I want another race, I'll just buy a fantasia and change. Plus, trying to level a new character without the MSQ would be a major pain.

You wouldn't have to level without the MSQ, though? If you start another character, you're starting over from the beginning of the game. Their progression isn't linked.

(Not trying to convince you, just saying that's not how it works.)
